once you rename win.com, you need to run setup from dos.

ahh, i see you got it working :) install to the same directory as the previous install (c:\windows\). installing to any other will leave you with two windows directories... if you delete the original, you'll have to reinstall some programs. if you install to the same directory, everything should be left intact.
